Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s daughter Harshita Kejriwal was duped of Rs 34,000 while trying to sell a second-hand sofa set on a portal.

Harshita fell into the trap after a fraudster contacted her to buy the sofa set that she had listed on the popular sale-purchase online platform.

Fraudster send a QR code:

After finalizing a deal, the man verified the bank account details of Kejriwal’s daughter and sent some amount to her account. Thereafter, he sent a QR code to Harshita and asked her to scan it to receive the remaining money.

He then sent another code and asked her to follow the same procedure for receiving the money. Once again, she lost another Rs 14,000. Soon after this, Harshita realized that she has been duped.
